About Us

WAEOBA is a local beekeeping association comprised of mostly hobbyist to sideliner beekeepers. The purpose of our organization is to help educate the public about the importance of honeybees and also to teach the next generation of beekeepers how to successfully care for their bees as well. We meet once a month to educate and exchange knowledge with one another to better learn how to keep healthy beehives in our apiaries.

What we do

The WAEOBA promotes apiculture in western Arkansas and eastern Oklahoma by bringing together a group of people with interests in bees, beekeeping, honey production, pollination, and marketing of honey and related products.

The Association is formed to share information within the group through presentations, articles in print, informal discussions, and the collection of book, journals, and videos/DVDs in a common library open to all interested person, to foster the art and success of beekeeping.

WAEOBA will promote public understanding of the importance and value of the honey bee for pollination and the uses of honey. Educational displays and presentations are made available by our members as we are able to present them throughout the year.

Benefits of this organization may include improved beekeeping techniques, social contact with other beekeepers, improved marketing skills, as well as an expanded knowledge of all aspects of successful beekeeping practices.

Our History

The first recorded existence of our club was recorded as a bank account being opened up in its' name in 1961.
